Field observation, (sensor) data handling and data bases

At EDS we gather extensive datasets on physical, ecological and chemical processes. These are obtained from the water column as well as from sediments, at a range of spatiotemporal scales. We operate sensors in the field to automatically measure waves (see our wave sampler), tidal currents, and sediment dynamics, and have in house workflows to process such data.  Long term field databases of benthic animals and water quality are maintained over extended time periods.
